XFCE selection in KDM

You can just copy the system one (I'm not sure where SuSE puts it,
probably somewhere in /etc/) over to ~/.xfce4/xinitrc and edit it to
your heart's (or RAM's) content.  Just make sure to make it executable;
that used to be a bug and honestly, I don't remember whether it's been
fixed in 4.0.6 (assuming that's what you're running).

Cheers,
Andrew
